I've had my Model S for 18 months. I've had the following problems almost the entire time. I've been to service many times. Each time they act as if I'm the only person in the world with them, and despite my video recordings of them happening, they say that they're not reproducible.
It would help me out if fellow owners could chime in and let me know if they've encountered them:
1. Key not recognized. This happens with either fob. It happens with the key in my pocket with or without my phone. Door handles don't always autopresent. Or the car flashes a warning light while driving, 'no key in car'. I've replaced the batteries in both fobs.
2. Rear door handles try to close on my fingers. If I exit the front door, close it and then walk one step to the rear side door (either side), the handles sometimes (1:50 times) try to close while my fingers are in the door latch. They fight back if I don't remove them immediately. This is frightening.
3. Tunein stops playing while driving. Not dependent on location. After 2 to 4 seconds, it starts again, often on another station.
4. Sometimes, I'll enter the car and music will play. Sometimes not. Sometimes I'll get in, no music. Moments later, will close door, open rear door, music plays. Volume varies significantly and randomly.
5. Charger port doesn't open reliably on home charger. Have found that if I point the charger AWAY from the port, it's more likely to open.
It might be my imagination, but the door and port issues seem worse if it's cold or raining.
I have the latest firmware, but as I've said, despite assurances, these problems have been around for months or years.
Anyone else seen anything like this?
Thanks.
